Knee Arthroscopy Surgery

Knee Arthroscopy Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat selected problems inside the knee joint. During the procedure, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted through a small incision, allowing the orthopaedic surgeon to view the internal structures of the knee and use specialised instruments when treatment is required.

At Asian Orthopaedic Hospital, Knee Arthroscopy Surgery in Sabarmati is planned according to the patient’s symptoms, knee condition, activity level, imaging findings, and overall treatment requirements.

What Is Knee Arthroscopy?

The knee is a complex joint made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, meniscus, and other soft tissues that work together to provide stability and movement. Injuries or damage to these structures can result in pain, swelling, stiffness, instability, locking, or difficulty with everyday activities.

Knee Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to directly examine the inside of the knee using a small camera inserted through a small incision. This provides a detailed view of the joint and can help identify specific problems requiring arthroscopic treatment.

How Is Knee Arthroscopy Performed?

During Knee Arthroscopy Surgery, small incisions are made around the knee to introduce the arthroscope and specialised surgical instruments.

The arthroscope provides a clear view of the internal structures of the knee, allowing the surgeon to assess conditions affecting the cartilage, meniscus, ligaments, and other joint tissues. When appropriate, the surgeon can perform the required treatment through additional small incisions.

The surgical approach is determined after a detailed knee evaluation, relevant imaging, and assessment of the patient’s symptoms, activity requirements, knee condition, and overall health.

Knee Arthroscopy Surgery Journey

Detailed Knee Evaluation

Your symptoms, knee movement, stability, medical history, physical examination findings, and relevant imaging are assessed to understand the underlying condition.

Personalized Arthroscopy Planning

The orthopaedic team determines whether Knee Arthroscopy is appropriate based on the type and severity of the knee problem, activity level, functional requirements, and overall health.

Arthroscopic Surgical Procedure

When arthroscopy is recommended, the surgeon uses a small camera and specialised instruments to examine and treat the affected structures inside the knee through small incisions.

Post-Operative Knee Care

After surgery, the knee is monitored and appropriate guidance is provided regarding movement, activity, pain management, wound care, and the gradual return to normal activities.

Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

A structured rehabilitation program can help improve knee movement, muscle strength, stability, and functional ability. Exercises and activity progression are tailored to the procedure performed and the patient’s recovery.

Follow-Up Assessment

Regular follow-up allows the orthopaedic team to monitor healing, assess knee function, and provide guidance regarding rehabilitation and the gradual return to daily and physical activities.

FAQs

Knee arthroscopy may be used for selected problems involving the meniscus, cartilage, ligaments, and other internal structures of the knee, depending on the nature and severity of the condition.

The surgeon makes small openings around the knee and inserts a tiny camera to examine the joint. Specialised instruments can be used through additional small incisions to perform the required treatment.

Ongoing knee pain, swelling, stiffness, instability, locking or catching sensations, and difficulty with normal movement may require an orthopaedic assessment to identify the underlying problem.

Recovery depends on the condition treated and the type of arthroscopic procedure performed. Some patients may resume basic activities relatively early, while more extensive procedures require a longer rehabilitation period.

Physiotherapy helps progressively restore knee flexibility, muscle strength, stability, and functional movement. The rehabilitation program is adjusted according to the procedure and individual recovery.
